EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Port Said shipyards in 1862, on the edge of the Suez Canal at its exit from Lake Menzaleh. The intricate drawing by Grenet, featured in Paul Merruau's excursion to the Suez Canal, beautifully captures a moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this engraving from "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1863, we are transported to an era where construction sites were filled with bustling activity. In this scene, we see workers diligently going about their tasks amidst a vast landscape of North Africa. A tent stands tall against the backdrop of Egyptian architecture and palm trees sway gently in the breeze. The attention to detail is remarkable as every stroke brings life to this historical masterpiece. The Selvas collection has preserved this precious artwork that allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Egypt but also marvel at human ingenuity during a time when engineering feats like constructing the Suez Canal were considered groundbreaking achievements. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly captures every nuance and texture of Grenet's engraving, ensuring that future generations can continue to admire and study this significant piece of history. This image serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us with our past while igniting our curiosity for exploration and discovery.
